I’m trying to code a social game with tappable overlays
The idea is the reader can tap either a bubble placed above a group of characters or an arrow which will make the main character walk to the next zone (starts in zone 2, but will make character walk to zone 1 then give the option of another arrow to take them back to zone 2)
And walk to the next zone so the reader can tap the other bubbles…
After the reader has tapped a bubble I want it to disappear so they can’t tap it again until there is no more tappable bubbles left…
I’ve got a rough idea, but not a complete idea on how to do this social game…

You can spice this up as needed (decrease the opacity of the arrows during the scene and increase the opacity just before the scene ends) etc.
